Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A protective assembly and structural element for an aircraft comprising a portion of an attachment pylon primary structure is provided. The attachment pylon primary structure portion is at least partially covered by a protective assembly comprising a layer forming a firewall and a thermally insulating layer, the thermally insulating layer being located between the layer forming a firewall and the attachment pylon primary structure portion. The protective assembly is attached to the pylon primary structure by fasteners axially arranged in pairs, one of each pair extending through the protective assembly and the other of each pair extending through the pylon primary structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A structural element for an aircraft comprising at least one portion of an attachment pylon primary structure, wherein the attachment pylon primary structure portion is at least partially covered by a protective assembly comprising a layer forming a firewall and a thermally insulating layer, wherein the thermally insulating layer is located between the layer forming the firewall and the attachment pylon primary structure portion, wherein the protective assembly is connected to the attachment pylon primary structure portion via fasteners axially arranged in pairs, wherein one of each pair of the fasteners extends through the protective assembly and the other of each pair of the fasteners extends through the pylon primary structure. 2. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment pylon primary structure portion is made of composite material. 3. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the layer forming the firewall is metallic. 4. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the layer forming the firewall is made of composite material. 5. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the layer forming the firewall is determined as a function of a desired fire resistance duration of the protective assembly. 6. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the thermally insulating layer is determined as a function of a desired fire resistance duration of the protective assembly. 7. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the thermally insulating layer comprises a thermally insulating material. 8. The structural element according to claim 7 , wherein the thermally insulating material is encased within an envelope. 9. The structural element according to claim 8 , wherein the layer forming the firewall and the envelope are attached to one another by an intumescent adhesive or an intermediate intumescent adhesive layer. 10. The structural element according to claim 7 , wherein the thermally insulating material is encased between the layer forming the firewall and a layer forming a cover. 11. The structural element according to claim 1 , wherein the fasteners connect the attachment pylon primary structure to the protective assembly through supports arranged so as to maintain a space between the protective assembly and the attachment pylon primary structure portion, wherein each support has a body and two mutually parallel projections. 12. The structural element according to claim 11 , wherein the space is filled with a thermally insulating gas.
